Today is a special day. We proudly present the first of 15 films of the #ENIS/#MIDA summer school 2020. Our ESR Elmozfar Abdelhafiz directed (t)his piece of moving art. Elmozfar, a scientist and historian, put an interesting approach into his entertaining short film. As the presenter he asks questions like: What if we were able to view and write history interactively? What if we approached it in a manner similar to video games?
Enjoy
